There have been many instances in the past when the El Paso Times finds a story from an elpasonaturally post. Yesterday's front page story Oil, Gas Plans Spark Protest by Marty Schladen is the newest example. Last week I posted Pay Attention: What's Happening in North Dakota is Happening Just South of El Paso.
It's easy to see why so much attention is directed toward the protest in North Dakota. It is taking on epic proportions as a Native American act of independance with particiapation from tribes from as faraway as the Pacific Northwest. Big Bend too gets attention because it's Big Bend. El Paso activists continue to focus on N. Dakota. Only Bill Addington through his Facebook posts has shone a light on the pipeline going to San Elizario as well.
The No Trans Pecos Pipeline group on Facebook includes people, led by Bill, who are trying organize protests about the San Elizario pipeline...not much traction. The federal government seems content to let the companies pretend that this and the Big Bend pipeline are just intra-Texas, when it is well-known that they are meant to take fossil fuels to Mexico. So much for a commitment to stop global warming. Big money talks very loudly.
